I'm kind of sitting here like, what really was it about this book. The story was pretty interesting, but it was just beyond the type of believable that makes good fantasy, even YA. I liked Claidi and the rest of the characters, but her problems never seemed life threatening enough. I mean, we have some obvious betrayal and a kind of out of the blue romance, since the second wasn't set up all that well in my opinion, even if it was really, glaringly obvious. Maybe the obviousness of everything was kind of annoying. Also, she never questions why he would need to go so out of his way just to apparently bring back a wife, which was kind of what it seemed at first when he started being ADAMANT about her coming with him. I understand being blinded by love, especially first love but . . . The ending was also really ridiculous. I part of me wants to believe it but it seemed too fabricated for me.

Anyway, the book was still cute and I do want to read the next books.
